Ellerslie and Fiji: A perfect match
Ellerslie adopted Fiji as its second team for the
Rugby World Cup and business association
manager Sally Eustace says it’s been a
wonderful experience.
Members of Auckland’s Fijian community have
taken charge of organising performers, arts
and craft and sports events.
“They’ve done a fantastic job and really tried
to keep the programme alive rather than just
having one or two events.’’
Every day at 9am a Lali drummer plays at
Memory Corner, calling Ellerslie shopkeepers
to open their doors. He is also playing each day
at lunch time in the town square.
“ He’s playing for the full seven weeks, Monday
to Saturday until October 21,’’ Mrs Eustace
says. “The business owners tell me they look
forward to hearing the sound each day, it’s
quite wonderful.’’
On October 22 a rugby sevens tournament is
being held at Liston Park from 8am to 6pm.
“It’s going to be quite a festival in its own right.
They’ll have arts and craft, food, sports, singing,
and all the musical side of things. It’s their last
big opportunity to showcase Fiji.’’
Mrs Eustace says Ellerslie’s Rugby World Cup
events have gone far better than expected.
“I applied to council for funding and got less
than I applied for. That money had to cover
signage and printing and everything else had
to be funded through doorsales - and they’ve
done it. We’ve filled the hall at every event
which has been fantastic.’’
“Overall it’s been a lot of fun, a lot of laughter,
with huge smiles and goodwill.
“Tourism Fiji has been very generous in
sponsoring our beautiful pole banners. They
paid for the design, manufacture and installation
and that was not a cheap exercise. They’ve
also supplied the prizes for the retail promotion
we’ve got going until the 21st of October where
people can win a trip to Fiji.
“ Fijians have said to me that they couldn’t have
been given a better town centre than Ellerslie.
It’s a great match. Ellerslie is not formal and
starchy nor is it downtrodden. Both Ellerslie
and Fiji have a similar feel - relaxed but not too
relaxed.
“Residents have really appreciated that the
events have been casual enough that people
can just come down and join in the fun.
“ We’ve had a happy, festival feeling the whole
time.
“There’s been a lovely warmth about it. All
credit to the Fijians – they’ve done the work. I
just set up the infrastructure. They’ve provided
the talent.
The Fiji Police Band came to New Zealand for
five days during the tournament and played
in Ellerslie, drawing a huge crowd to the town
centre.
“The feedback from that was extraordinary,’’
Mrs Eustace says. “I was told by locals that was
the best event ever in Ellerslie. It was lovely to
get those comments.
“Ellersie and Fiji made a beautiful match. The
Fijians are a beautiful people. Even when
they’re doing a war dance they’re smiling.’’
